Grigoriev, A. (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna (Austria))

Abstract

At the international level, debate is focusing increasingly on number of industrial operation and processes associated with what is called the nuclear fuel cycle. These activities include uranium mining. Enrichment and fuel fabrication. Reprocessing, and subsequent recycling, of spent fuel and the management of nuclear waste. The issues related to the nuclear fuel cycle continue to be of high priority in assuring the safe use of nuclear energy. Status of the nuclear fuel cycle in IAEA member states is discussed in this paper.
